Queen Victoria maintained a close connection with Canada throughout her reign, owing in part to her father, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn. Prince Edward played a pivotal role in the formation of Canada, and his contribution is commemorated by the naming of Prince Edward Island province after him.
Victoria’s reign as queen coincided with the establishment of Canada as a nation in 1867. She is remembered fondly to this day for her significant contributions to the country’s history and her lasting legacy.
